Skimmer

[SilverSurfer]

So I noticed my skimmer hasn't been doing much took it apart cleaned it still nothing. Took the pump apart cleaned it and noticed the impeller is shot! Can someone recommend a good pump and impeller for 110-125 gallon reef. This one came with it when I bought it.

What skimmer is it? Might be easier (less costlier) to simply replace the impeller.

That was my original plan but can't find a brand on the pump anywhere so no idea what impeller to get.

Post a pic of the pump and let's see if we can figure it out.

It's a Coraline skimmer but I don't think they are making them anymore in that style. I will do a little snooping around

Wouldn't a needle wheele pump work like a Serra?

I know I could just get an impeller but how do I know what size to get? Theres no name on the pump or gph nothing lol. I have no idea if that pumps the rightsize for this tank/skimmer.

At this point Im thinking this skimmer is more trouble than its worth. Maybe I should swap it out don't think its meant for a 110 anyway, after looking around Im guessing that pump was for a 65 gallon tank roughly.
